rumbles in from 7 yards out. baltimore takes an eight-point lead, not looking good, 28-20 and here comes the griffin injury in the final two minutes. skins driving on a 2nd and 19, the big fellow makes contact and the leg bends the wrong way, griffin hobbles off the field, misses one play, comes back in and hooks up with pierre garcon with one good leg from 22 out and down to the ravens 16-yard line but falling on the turf in pain leaves the game for good the very next play. in comes the other rookie, the backup, kirk cousins, and great response. 3rd and 5 from the 11, 29 seconds in the game, he. s and hits pierre gore -- he pumps and hits pierre garcon with the touchdown. the skins in two and they need to convert the two-point conversion and the keeper, the quarterback draw, cousins does his best rg3 impersonation lunging in for the tied ballgame 28-28. he comes off the bench cold and sends his team into overtime where in o.t.

everybody is praying for me. you know, i feel pretty good right now about the whole situation. so i'm not too nervous, but i'll definitely be praying during the mri. >> prayer answered, i guess. it's likely griffin's game status for next week's visit to cleveland will be up in the air throughout the week, but today showed confidence in their ability to have kirk cousins step in in spontanuity and he certainly got the job done today. >> yes, he did. that was a relief. >> they find new and interesting ways to keep people engaged in the game and do it again. that's their longest winning streak since 2008. >> really interesting. what a suspenseful game on the edge of your seat. >> they don't have any room to slip. they have to keep doing these games because all the other teams in the wildcard and division keep winning, too. giants won today as well, so no room to slip. >> thanks, scott. it was an intense battle of the beltways both on and off the field. >> most skins fans welcomed our neighbors to the north with

for instance, this would be a contentious relationship. right here we're all having fun. >> reporter: of course, after kickoff. >> it's going like donkey kong. >> rg who? >> i love you so much! >> go ravens! >> tonight's game was not just a battle of the beltways. it was the battle of the county execs. howard county executive ken uhlman a huge ravens fan offered a wager to prince george's county executive rushern baker who is a skins fans. if baltimore wins, baker has to win a ravens jersey for one day. we all know how this one turned out. after the skins beat the ravens uhlman tweeted out this picture saying he's a man of his word and will be in prince george's county soon to settle the bet. we want to take you to texas where an nfl player could

this is fox 5 news at 10:00. fiscal cliff is looming just a few weeks away and as we inch closer to the january 1st deadline, president obama and house speaker john boehner are sitting down for more negotiations. today the two met behind closed doors and focused on trying to hammer out a deal over tax hikes and spending cuts. president obama's core demand is putting the top marginal income rates back to clinton era levels after december 1st while the house speaker delivered a proposal that

offered up to $800 billion in new revenue from closing loopholes and capping deductions for wealthier americans. however, democrats insist the speaker's plan is not enough. >> fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin joining us now to help sort out what went on between the president and house speaker john boehner today. it was looking pretty hopeless friday, now this, so what has actually changed? >> this is actual progress. you remember house speaker boehner said i'm here to give you a progress report. that was on friday, no progress and now they're actually meeting and you're hearing from republican senators and these are not far left wing republicans like senator corker of tennessee and senator colburn. you can't get any more conservative from oklahoma and congressman tom cole of oklahoma saying look, maybe these rate increases we should do something. maybe they won't go up to 39.6,

but they'll go above 36, maybe 37 and in return there will be some entitlement tradeoffs and what that means is changing the cost of living calculator for social security, raising the medicare age, not for current recipients but future recipients and i think senator durbin, the no. 2 person in the democratic party, said look, if we don't reach this and we go to the fiscal cliff, the republicans will own it. maybe the republicans started to believe that. >> i was going say why the capitulation now on the republicans side? >> that's a great word. they wouldn't like you to say the word capitulation. they would say they're being statesmen and i think they look at the polls and the polls in the country say they're going to blame the house republicans. so they think if they can get some sort of tradeoff, it would be better than becoming the recipient of the blame for going over the fiscal cliff. >> how likely is it we're going to see this fiscal cliff

deadline be moved back? >> well, that was the talk. i remember last sunday telling you that congressman davis said there will be a downpayment, but now there seems to be a certain sense that look, we want to do something comprehensive. we want to do something maybe not dotting every i and crossing every t, but something big. the only other sticking point -- i don't want to be too much of a polly anna is this debt increase which the republicans feel they can hold the leverage. the debt increase of 16.3 trillion, that's going to be part of the deal, too are but when both parties get scared that they're going to be the blame or they're not going to be able to move forward and the stock market gets plummeting down, then you're going to see real action. i think this is a very good sign. now boehner has to sell it to his own caucus and the president has 90 liberals or left wingers that he has to

sell his part of the deal to, too. >> last few seconds i want you to look into your crystal ball and let me know what you think will happen this week in terms of the political rancorring. what big scene might we expect to see? >> i think you'll see a difference in tone because i think they'll start really seriously negotiating. they realize that time is ticking and they don't want to be a political casualty. >> fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin, as always, thank you. we'll see you next week. >> thank you, maureen. pennsylvania boy killed after accidentally being shot by one of his father's guns. it happened outside a gun store in western pennsylvania saturday morning. officers say 7-year-old craig allen loffrey was sitting in a safety seat when his father placed a handgun that he thought was unloaded into a storage unit and it fired. while the magazine in the gun was not loaded, one bullet remained in the chamber. authorities say they found the wreckage of a plane believed to be carrying mexican

i think you can hear

redskins nation breathing a sigh of relief. >> we've been hearing a lot of the p word being thrown around, playoffs. >> we've seen robert griffin, iii test the human limitations physically. i'm pretty sure the knee bends one way and not the other, yet his knee kind of bent the other way and yet just a sprain. we say just a knee sprain, but he may still need some time, but who knows. the way robert griffin, iii plays the game say double edged sword to some ex -- is a double edged sword to some extent. his body takes a beating so the team gets the victory. today we all grimaced as we watched his latest high flying act. griffin takes off running and the knee goes one way. that's not good. fortunately mri results come back negative no, major ligament damage, but he was

certainly in pain. as you see the replay, that right knee bends backwards, the official word knee aspirin. the big question is not whether or not that causes -- knee sprain. the big question is not whether or not that causes him to miss more games. rg3 came back into the game and converted a big 22-yard completion and that would lead to him leaving the game for good. that's where kirk cousins steps in to play after they kind of peel him off the turf. as he leaves the game, doctors examining on the sideline and here's griffin's reaction. >> they're like does it hurt here? here? yes. for the 14th time it hurts there. they told me it felt like my ligaments all feel good. it's just a matter of what the mri says and they told me my acl looked good. so i was feeling the positive vibes from them, feeling the positive vibes from the team. just the fact that we won the game makes everybody feel a lot

better. >> so in steps kirk cousins coming to lead the final two plays of regulation down 8 connecting with pierre garcon from 11 yards out to pull the skins within 2, 29 seconds left in regulation. they have to go for 2 to force the tie. cousins calls his number, tucks and plunges in for the conversion, a huge moment for the backup to rise to the occasion and lead his team to overtime tied at 28-28. into o.t. a huge lift from grand new punt returner rich cowarded for -- brand-new punt returner richard crawford in for brandon banks. a 64-yard return brings the team within field goal range where four plays later it's kai forbath from 34 yards out to seal the dramatic overtime victory. he is 14-14 for field goals this year, 31-28 the final, kirk cousins a perfect 2-2 in spontanuity, a true team effort in the victory. >> it's been communicated to me by some veterans that they believe in me and if my name

has to be called upon, they believe i can get it done and that means the world, but first and foremost, robert has been doing an awesome job and i have a lot to live up to if my number does get called because of the way he's played. >> it's really tough on the second and third quarterback not to get many reps, but you expect them to play as a starter in game situations. so his preparation has been great throughout the whole year. he's very on top of everything, went in there and didn't miss a beat. >> the redskins are really fortunate to have guys like cousins and griffin, rookies that talk like savvy veterans. they handle the game the same way and prepare in and out like both will get the start and it shows. the team is obviously just as confident with kirk cousins under center. >> a lot to celebrate tonight. coming up it's a trip every child dreams of, traveling to the north pole and meeting jolly old saint nick. tonight some special kids got behind the wheel to do just that.

are going to keep an eye on a couple of frontal systems that will change our weather pattern a bit. over the course of tonight we can't rule out light drizzle or a light pop-up shower. back to our weather maps. that we will watch very closely. here's a look at a fog advisory and laura mentioned how it looked outside. this fog advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. monday morning, definitely going to impact your morning commute. do be aware of that and keep your eyes to the skies. over areas of the upper midwest they've dealt with snow from a couple systems that roared in from the west and along areas of california through colorado got hit as well, but right now over the upper midwest. for us it's the wed weather. we'll see the code -- wet weather. we'll see that cold front move our way and before that we'll get a nice southerly flow. that will set us into nice spring-like temperatures mid- to upper 60s going into monday. this warm front will move its

way to the north. as it does, we'll keep an eye on approaching low pressure systems and cold front. a couple scenarios here. the warm front to the north will give us an influx of warmer air monday, expect the mid-and upper 60s, and then the frontal system will move its way across. that will set us up for thunderstorms on monday. monday is one of those days where we'll start out with a little light shower activity, drizzle, fog. it's going to increase and become a little more widespread as the day wears on tomorrow. so be prepared for that. keep your umbrella handy and we could see some isolated thunderstorms. 48 degrees for your overnight low for d.c. and the fog will be picking around. here's a look at futurecast -- sticking around. here's a look at futurecast. tomorrow some of the rain is pushing through the course of the early morning hours but through the course of the day it becomes more widespread into the evening hours. it will be out of the way moving into the early part of

tuesday. colder air with the strong cold front on the backside could give us some mountain snow showers. mostly cloudy, fog, rain and drizzle overnight. tomorrow we're talking morning fog, showers, a chance of isolated thunderstorms and some very warm windy conditions. winds will be gusty tomorrow. be prepared. we've got temperatures heading to the upper 60s, southern maryland, wouldn't be surprised if they hit 70 degrees. behind that frontal system that's going to move through a shot of cooler air. so we get right back to reality, back to the upper 40s and 50s and by wednesday till the weekend we've got plenty of sunshine kicking in, should be dry and pretty pleasant. it's something law enforcement officers in the d.c. area don't have to worry about, but with pot becoming legal for recreational use in colorado and washington, the new move poses a challenge in drafting the rules behind toking and driving. >> fox 5's william lajeunesse takes a look at how much is too

much driving when high. >> reporter: the fear is that legalizing pot will only make things worse. advocates say that's not true that, smokers know when they are too high to drive. washington state taking no chances imposing a strict limit on the amount of pot drivers can have in their system. >> you want to know why i pulled you over? littering and smoking the reefer. >> reporter: driving while high, while illegal research shows more drivers are toking up, yet studies like this one in europe show too much marijuana affects coordination and judgment. >> one of the first and most important being an inability or reduced ability to divide one's attention. >> reporter: marijuana advocates say pot is far less debilitating than alcohol, yet a canadian study says those who drive within three hours of smoking pot are twice as likely to cause a crash. >> another effect of individuals who drive under the influence of marijuana say

reduced ability to perceive time and distance. >> reporter: how much is too much. >> i know for a fact we're nun chartered territory. >> reporter: 12 states -- in unchartered territory. >> reporter: 12 states have a zero tolerance for pot. 5-nanograms per blood level is the statute in some states. >> similar to how the dui standards have evolved over the years, it's not sure if this standard will change. >> reporter: the problem is heavy users though not impaired can test positive weeks after smoking. also what and how you smoke it affects people differently. so even experts don't know how much pot causes impairment. >> for anyone to be able to say that two hits or two zones would get me 5-nanograms, it nearly is impossible to make that determination. >> reporter: thc is the compound in pot that makes you high. it's stored in fat. so a heavy user could test

positive weeks after smoking, which is like colorado defeated the -- which is why colorado defeated the 5-nanogram standard. bottom line, this will be argued and litigated. in alcohol we started at 1.5 and came down. with pot advocates argued it should be more like 10- nanograms to reach impairment. electric taxi cabs could be coming to arlington. the county board is expected to vote tomorrow whether to approve the nation's first all electric taxi fleet. the electric vehicle taxicab company proposed the idea. it includes a fleet cars equipped with ipads to allow riders to browse the internet and pay with credit cards. coming up tonight it was a big day for redskins fans. justed that looking for any -- just ahead looking for any fan favorites this holiday season? we'll check out the redskins style lounge. >> on the news edge at 11:00 a terrifying scene in d.c. tonight, a woman and child
